Well, upon further inspection, the duct work had to be modified a bit for the left guage to tuck away completely. Now, could I have nixxed the duct altogether and sealed off the arm? Sure but fuck it, the main idea behind this build was that it was ALL in the details. Plus, doing things half-assed is for those not ready to take the next step right?

I decided to notch the duct a bit instead of cutting it all out.


After hinging the piece a bit, I burred away to a nice smooth curve and made a quick mold out of greased foil.


Laid down some resin...


Voila. While it was still curing, I wrapped it into place and trimmed off the jaggies.


Now the guage sits snug as a bug =)
